Faire Justice de l'Irreparable (L'Esprit Des Lois)
by Magali Bessone
Knjiga o sudbini. Svi ljudi znaju da ima u zivotu jos uvek jedno zakopano blago za svakog od njih. Svi ljudi kopaju: svi ljudi od akcije, od poleta, od sile, od vere u zivot i u cilj, i od vere u neverovatno i u nemogucno. Svi traze i vape za carem tog vecnog nespokojstva i vecnog traganja. Svet bi nestao da nema tog cara, i oslepio bi da ne sija u pomrcini njegovo nasluceno blago... Knjiga mudrosti i lepote velikog srpskog pesnika, jedno od najcitanijih dela srpske knjizevnosti. Riznica poeticn...
Ici, ecrire rime avec reflechir, et avec exister. Brefs, compacts et charges, ces vingt-cinq essais philosophiques, qui entremelent contemplation, opinion, souvenir, et sont magnifiquement couronnes d'exergues tires de la grande litterature universelle. Ils traduisent une urgence existentielle d'immortaliser noir sur blanc sa pensee, une febrilite de dire a peine dissimulee dans la main qui tient le stylo, mais aussi un poids de vivre devant le temps qui passe trop vite. D'un essai a l'autre,...
In this book, Cioran writes of politics, of history, and of the utopian dream. "A small masterwork . . . a stringent examination of some persistent and murky notions in human history. . . . It is best to read Cioran while sitting. The impact upon the intellect can be temporarily stunning, and motor systems may give way under the assault".--Joseph Patrick Kennedy, "Houston Chronicle" "Cioran has a claim to be regarded as among the handful of original minds . . . writing today".-- "New York Times"...

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They ha...
The American Crisis (Founding Fathers Collection, #4) (American Crisis)
by Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine wrote the American Crisis in an effort to justify the American Revolution and to bolster the moral of the Continental Army. THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triu...
In The Moral Imagination, Gertrude Himmelfarb, one of America's most distinguished intellectual historians, explores the minds and lives of some of the most brilliant and provocative thinkers of modern times. In their distinctive ways, she argues, they exemplify what Burke two centuries ago and Trilling most recently have called the "moral imagination." Himmelfarb describes how each of these thinkers, coming from different traditions, responding to different concerns, and writing in different ge...
Deleuze and Political Activism (Deleuze Studies Special Issues, v. 4: 2010 (supplement))
When Deleuze and Guattari wrote Anti-Oedipus they hoped it would be a call to arms for dissidents and political activists. Rather than set out a program of change, they tried to isolate the political, cultural and economic factors that inhibit change. In so doing they created a work that was instantly recognised as a philosophical watershed. It changed the landscape of political theory in a single sweep. In this volume, both critical theorists and activists analyse Deleuze and Guattari's critica...
